one last song before I go.
From the album "Viva Hate" Lyrics and italian translation in description -------------------- Why do you come here ? And why do you hang around ? I'm so sorr...
My life, nothing was easy till now Hope like the morning will paint the dawn More than ordinary (deep down) Make it more than merry (deep down) Take me to the Père Lachaise Cemetery (por toi mon ami) And shine a light on me Draw back the curtains and smile Everything's wow! Men are ten penny plans - Roy and Benny, Jord, Jean and Jackie G Hear me now I warn you Boys from will break your heart and set you free (To me) babe back into My life (maybe, maybe. This time we could at last, at least be) Shame to rely, but I swear it's the best I can do Like a flame, like an I with a dot I am not you Call me guilty I swear I'm a man who can fly (deep down) I keep coming back, I'll get back to you My life, nothing was easy till now

Baskets is my spirit animal
I wished we had more time together. Happy vday.
I'm trying to hold back my tears, I don't want to cry in public Yet it's raining heavily The world knows Bowie is dead And I thought you were forever We could be heroes, just for one day But everyday I wanted to be you My immortal hero Rest in peace David Bowie
Merry Christmas bon bon! Are you enjoying your big cookie and grape vitagen ? Don’t get so carried away by all your aerobics class and karate lessons that you forget your moo. I love you son. Be a good bear. Miss you both (always) x <--- pom

‘As terrible as it may seem,-’ grandpapa said to the little boy who lived down the road,
- ‘to you, I was glad I didn’t wake up somewhere else.’
-’like in a belly of a python,’I winked to the boy although I knew he did not understand the meaning of the jest. His eyes rolled in their sockets to meet my own staring back at him, I managed to force out a half-smile. Unimpressed he stared back for a half-a-second or two, mouth agape, before deciding to avert his gaze back towards the general direction of grandpapa’s face.
“Instead I was face down in a pile of hardened shit. Although, I didn’t know which animal it belonged to on the count of It not smelling much of anything at all. Well looking back and thinking about it now, It was probably ‘cause I had my nose pressed in it for a long time. Explains why.”
“You musn’t exkzsagzgerate, ss’-pecially not to j’ol’ Jimbo here grampsss,”
Despite being in the bible-belt county of middle-u-s-of-a for a few days and hearing nothing but redneck being spoken rather than my native French, my tongue hadn’t the luxury to be adjusted in time for the other folks who, surrounding our abode and ever quick in their judgment of other folk, was already summing me up within the lines of ‘em-Euro-peans’ and kept a great deal of distance since I ‘can’t speak no Ennng-llllish properly’.
‘you will ‘sscarea im’ ‘ol Zhhim ere,’
‘and what makes you think I am? You weren’t there - so you can’t tell which is which. Anyways as I was sayin’ -- Marthel honey,’ Seeing one of his eldest grandchild walking past, ‘-- could you get me some Ice-cold Iced-tea on your way in?’ Thank you, darlin.’
‘thanks fawh askin fuhr usz tu,’ but my sarcasm too was lost on the boy and thankfully on grandpapa too.
Grandpapa was a veteran and a war hero of some sort. During the second world war, (once eloquently described by one of the younger hillbilly’s, upon hearing the story being recounted sonorously one evening, much to my surprise, corrected grandpapa’s by vociferously shouting ‘world war one remix’ at the top of his lungs, deliberately emphasizing the word ‘remix,’ in a high pitched voice - a rare thing to have witness indeed - that was at least until the red-faced Neanderthal fell off his chair and fainted from running out of breath) his company whose task was to liberate the European continent from tyranny, only succeeded by themselves outdoing their enemy’s with a capital T’.
And to that regard, these good american boys did not fraternize with their limped-wrist allies, those Anglo-cousins of theirs who with their own eyes can testify to the fact that indeed, only brought with them to the fight, actual tea with a capital T.
The men who,depending on the angle and point of view used to tell the story, had been fortunate enough to have met, however limply-wrist of a-chance, affiliation to this band of merry men and ascribed to their company - a superstitious novelty tantamount to the one saved for martyrs. The men were war-time lucky-charms.
During the Battle of Arden, whilst the others were busy bringing freedom and liberation to the continent, in the midst of it all, grandpapa, depending on the angle and point of view used to tell the story, bestowed on himself the burden to bring freedom and liberation to my grandmother’s fanny.
Mademoiselle Dumontet, a haughty creature of proletarian origins had, even before the war, masqueraded in the barracks, among the ranks of unrefined men, and prospered greatly in their praises and pleas, even if most of them ended up being fodder for the next day’s front-lines and trenches.
In their minds (as well as those who had some inkling but failing to irk) Madame Dee was projected as the most sophisticated and the chiquest of all the Bobo’s of the province. (she was in fact, the only one).
Alas, Grandpapa’s love was so heavily stroked, he did, Nazi bullets, a favor by stepping in front of her and absorbed it all, like a leftover sponge-cake. (he was in fact, in the process of merely adjusting himself to a much more comfortable and erotic position) He valiantly fell, as valiantly as one with his pants pulled all the way down to his ankles could manage. This gallant image not lost on the Germans as they, deeply touched by this seemingly heroic gesture, (and being a tad bit horny themselves, being at war, sexless for so long, were emphatic) spared both his nookie and him from being executed.

do you really want me to say -
those three words I use to repeat to you everyday?
at the drop of a hat,
why do you wish to imply something as trivial as that - I do not wish to make it a game of gestures and hollowed jests, (do you?) reminding one of the other, of beautiful moments long gone in some distant and sometimes bitter past,
maybe you’re intentionally mocking me,
you were never one to take me seriously,
...
tell me what good it would do
If I laid the moon down at your feet,
would you feel complete?
You know as well as I do, neither of us need to say a word. neither of us ever have to.
Star Trek sketch [1]: why cross the universe when you can cross multiverses - duh
"i know where you are here, why you all are here for...” said the movie trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRVD32rnzOw) and setting the premise that opens to the sketch and set - note to self: this movie shares the same director of fast and furious. Star Trek+ fast and furious = potentially parody both mocking the fanaticism involved in both franchise.
‘- - is to traverse into that open portal to bring into this dimension, that stern and ever wise leader mentioned in the oracle’s prophecy." -
"This is Captain Kirk and my second in command, Commander Spock of the Star fleet USS Enterprise. By order of The Federation, we have here..." -
" - a god damned situation!,' Dr. McCoy interrupting and continued - so you show yourself! Before I - -"
'Number two, did you hear that?', said a voice from the other side of the portal.
'Affirmative commander Riker. my in-bedded radio module is transmitting several waves in a form of a simple signal. An FM radio-frequency, akin to that of a humanoid in close proximity of... records show, of Scrambler motorcycles. A relic from the 20th century. Might I suggest I enter first, with the Captain's consent?' - spoke another.
'Make it so Data', a third voice affirmed.
The Star fleet crew was frozen in their shock as they had not expected whoever they or it was, behind the portal, the most taken aback being Spock who, accustomed to predict the future logically, stood and waited in-front of his crew members, in front of his beloved Captain Kirk who noticed the change in his dearest of-friend's composure.
Then the beings on the other side stepped through. Spock who in his newly found fear had forgotten, in that moment of seeing the portal opening up, where he was. His mind, he realized, was being examined and read by someone telepathically! Someone named Deanna. A counselor of some sort. This fact he knew through reflecting upon his mind reader’s thoughts - like two individuals on opposite sides on an open window separating them, looking at each other - the core of their inner-being.
Was this not, the great Counselor Troi? A character whom he recognized from reading, when he was a child, the many Pulp novels; being completely immersed and absorbed into countless issues and volumes of cheap fiction in paperback form, no doubt smuggled into Vulcan from the only place in the universe that produces it - Earth.
It was thoroughly illegal on his home planet. It is considered as contraband and classed as a Prima-V [a] dangerous substance of the second highest caliber capable of poisoning the minds of Vulcan young-lings. Spock did not know why it was so. To him it seemed harmless as it mostly chronicled, throughout its albeit short lifespan, - the adventures of one particular Space ship and its crew, obviously modeled after Earth's own USS fleets and according to the premise of the Earth created smut - its finest ship and ditto for its crew. The ambition and lifestyle to which until present day is still taboo within Vulcan-esque (centric?) society. --- (cont.)
--- (cont.) Matter of fact - this work of fiction, embodied in him a sense of rebellion against his own race, although not completely isolated from it, having descended from both the Human and Vulcan - a freakish concoction which made the hybrid child, in the earlier period of his already long life, confused and conflicted throughout his adolescence and all the way through his childhood and young adult life. It was this fictitious drug he had succumbed to - lead by the ever respected Capt- -
"Captain Jean - Luc Picard,' said the bald man swiftly interruption Spock's growing realization of the worst and weird about to simultaneously happen. 'Of the USS Enterprise. You must be...'
'I must be dreaming because there is only one captain and that is me you Klingon imposter!' - Kirk shouted back without a moment's hesitation whilst everyone else, still in the daze at what was transpiring at that very moment, in a flash took out a phaser he had hidden under the sleeve of his leather jacket and who earlier had set to stun. Kirk shot the sinister individuals thereby pacifying them into a frozen state.
Spock was himself stunned at the sudden exchange, looking at the faces of those that had just been frozen, a bald man, a yellow android, a tall middle aged man with brown handle bars for facial hair and two boys, one with a visor over his eyes and the other a blonde and intelligent looking although effeminate creature.
And in Spock's shock in examining the terrified look etched in their faces - like so many others his dearest friend had brought out in the past, much under the same spontaneously created condition, he was frozen as was his ability to deduct what was logically the right thing to do.
In was in this final moments that he heard Dr. McCoy say 'Beam us up Scot, we've got the these bastard Klingon humanoid shape shifter things in the shitter now'. Spock sprang to life and shouted at them to stop but it was too late as they had already began to materialize back in the safety confines of the Enterprise - further secured in the safety of the vantage point on the bridge where - after the good Captain Kirk ordered Mr. Sulu to "blow it kingdom come" - could see the planet they had all within just a few seconds before, his team had been on, was now be obliterated into a blinding supernova - thanks to the latest photon torpedo installed, no doubt at the order of the charismatic captain himself (no need to consult Spock beforehand, as customary).
- 'bet those Klingon freaks didn't think about our superior weapons charging capabilities, with the hyperdrive acting as both conductor and a coiled... eh Spock! Mr. Spock?' chided the captain to his second-in-command, as he stumbled into the elevator, as if in a stupor, his back turned against the bridge so they could not see his face and the tip of his Vulcanesque ears growing hotter and redder
[?] with each button he hurriedly pressed, echoed, each panicked click reverberated and bounced back and forth against the eleven or so faces, and eleven or so pair of eyes that followed him until the elevator door finally closed, each one breathed a sigh of rel until one slightly flabbergasted bridge member finally broke the awkward silence and said ,‘guy could really do us a favor and lighten the fuck up.’

*p.s. Dear Lorne Michaels, please hire me as a SNL staff member. I can write, I attempt to act, I’m ready to make a complete ass of myself on live television. I can even clean the toilets if you want me to. Unclog the lower pipes and use my plunger. I’m talking about being Kate McKinnon bottom bitch here - just so we clear on that. Also I helped Noel Kristy become a cast member, a few seasons back by you know, hyping her to hell and back when her youtube account had less than 1k view - I was there. And now i’m ready to take her place so please give this kid who, all his life, despite his best efforts, looking more like Christ Farley and more likely ending up like John Belushi although really being more of a Murray or a Carey would be more than dandy. Oh yes, in fact, i’ll be the dandiest of them all! The biggest nobody, with roles however small, I’d take it all. Until further notice,
yours until your notice. (can’t a man dream damn it?)
starving at a beggars banquet
Honey, I now know -
having chose to always be (and been)
so foolish - though as foolish as I were before,
I had chosen, willingly.
Babe, I now know -
the extent to which,
had I known before,
how foolish
I was to you,
the extent to which,
to my own self too;
excuses ain’t something new,
something no more truer,
than truth -
itself, no, not ever;
Besides Its nothing you haven’t already known,
that I’ve already knew,
I can only speak for myself;
I was cowardly - and possessing all the common
traits of cowardly men.
I don’t know if I have grown since or have learnt any better,
for as long as I can remember,
I’ve flipped and flopped, beached cod.
Nor do I know if sorry words would make all I had done, disappear.
All I had created to make you fearful
of all the loudness, never short of an earful,
I was selfish and desperate to keep you near - dearest -
as close as I could,
for fear, that I would (inevitably) lose you -
forever, forever lost - to the dark depths,
of a world so artificial, so judging and temporal,
missing the trees for the woods,
(and the woods for the trees)
Now here I am, foolishly left in solemn solitude.
I got into a car accident earlier this year. The highway surface was wet and visibility was so poor due to the monsoon, one could not have seen ten feet ahead.
I lost control of the car, swerving to avoid driving onto oncoming traffic, and crashed into a divider separating the highway from a road-works site. The Mazda went airborne before rolling several times over on its side.
When I regained consciousness I was hanging upside down. I felt disorientated and confused, not knowing which way was up or down. All I could see was mud and soil and blood everywhere. Then - unknown hissing and the sound of rain belting heavily on twisted metal. Smoke filled the cabin and I thought the car to explode at any moment.
I unbuckled the seat belt and landed on a bed of broken glass. Barely enough space to move. I tried punching the cracked windshield to escape - feeling panicked and claustrophobic when It didn’t budge. Some passerby helped pull me out of the wreckage a few moments later.
My biggest fear was dying alone, unloved and unimportant to anyone. After the accident, I just may have well have been.
I haven’t said much since.
I don’t know why I’m still here.
“A jab at creating my own Catcher in the Rye, part fiction, part autobiography and almost entirely dedicated to you” - draft of synopsis 19/11/15″
Poetry is a whole bunch of bullshit. your words, the ones you think is smart and beautifully strung together, its just garbage. in fact, can you even say that any of it is yours, truly yours? isnt it just regurgitated crap? things that were put into your empty head by other people who had empty heads. i thought about this right before writing all of this down a moment ago. and the phrase that came to my mind, the one that summed it all up was “regurgitate to alleviate”. Alleviating whatever you have inside of you. feelings bottled up, none of it making any or much sense. and then all of it brought together, tied up nicely by words and phrases and romantic gestures or whatever it is you’ve picked up throughout your life from whatever youve come across, whatever that tickles your fancy from people you like and admired.
and these things and people - you want to be them. you want to be like them and make things they make. I could say emulate and use words that sound big and great and beautiful and romantic and whatnot. but ive had enough doing it. frankly its just dishonest. i’ve come to realise that, after years of trying and failing. every single time i try to come up with something original and try to make it the best it can, how I feel it should be, my idea of what good and beautiful and original and honest is - it just falls flat on its face. I overthink it, I erase whole phrases and at the end of it it just comes up looking and sounding horrible. All the choice of words used and how the phrases are arranged and what its meant to convey just comes of as wrong. Its disingenuous - and it shows.
Maybe it has to do with how things are for me. I studied law and used legal language so everything I wrote had to be precise. I’m not saying that what I wrote in law school in the end was precise or accurate but it had an effect on the way I’ve written ever since. And even before I went to law school, all throughout my life, I’ve tried to write as romantically and poetically as I could. I wrote fairly good stories for English classes when I was in primary school, all of them with a twist in the end and almost all of it had elements of things and moods and people and places I picked up from watching television and comic books - you know, characters and stuff, which worked because I wasn’t marked as a plagiarist or anything since most of the stuff I liked was too obscure for any of the teachers to pick up.
what Im trying to say is that, ever since having to write formally and accurately and romantically and poetically, i’ve developed a habit of dismantling whatever I’ve written down, whatever I feel is an honest depiction of myself and what I want to say in the form of words and in the end it all comes off as garbage. Doctored disingenuous garbage.
I’ve also had this thing where I feel inclined to present everything as grammatically correct. This wasn’t always the case. I really grew as a writer, a real original one or at least one where I felt like I was developing an original style and voice, after having read Vladimir Nobokov’s Lolita when I was 13. That book was and still is the most beautiful work of art i’ve ever read. I carried it everywhere with me. I used to randomly turn the pages and read a stanza or two. sometimes whole paragraphs and sometimes whole chapters and id feel fulfilled. like an angelic light had beamed through to me and i could feel my heart and insides just drop and my bones chill and then there is a jittery tingle that creeps up my spine and it feels all so euphoric (although at the time I had no idea what euphoric meant so I didn’t know how to describe the sensation to other people, not that it mattered since nobody cared maybe perhaps this other girl who I had a crush on - Sabrina was her name - but that was only because she was the only other girl and someone I knew who actually read tasteful books). All these sensation and heavenly light guided me in my writing. I wanted to write words as beautiful as Nobokov’s. Nothing else mattered.

Another year, well I don’t think I can do another year -
Far too lonely to persevere
moldy books can only keep you company for so long,
until it too, wish to be shared and labored over
caressed and carried lovingly with either set of gloved hands,
or admired with a pair of (pitied and pretty) peepers
And speaking as the sole member of
an expedition - into the heart of Flemish portraiture
what does it matter
If Caravaggio had a camera obscura - earlier
Or Van Eyck? Or did Vameer?
I cannot share or compare my findings,
One way or the other
So its just going to be
me and me
pot shots in the dark,
pee in the basin
sing songs like a lark
O’ how could ye?
how could ye
how pitifully lonely,
how ugly
and empty -
- every crumpled fold manifests its destiny
every child told, how work will salvage the soul
Children that age with blackened hands and faces
alone and orphaned, who in turn spoke of-
love, real love that was real for a brief moment
and made each other draw
what they think they saw
Slowly they start to tear and whimper and sob
never the same again
Will this long and sleepless night end?
Of course not, I’m still here, still seated
on this washing machine nursing Bordeaux's cheapest sell
knowing all too well,
photoshopped coneydogs
does not smell
(of coneydogs) [cont.]
PrayForParis
The old house in Paris covered in vines -
was now covered in flames,
Alas! All ruins of steel and stone stand tall,
If Parisian hope restored
Fearless through it all -
Paris shall rise again.
The old house in Paris covered in vines,
was now covered in flames,
In our hearts that fire;
had raged hopelessly in Ire
In flamed,
But alas It is with hope, its natural aim,
that from these ruins - like a faerie phoenix
Paris shall rise again.
A-not-her Q
Never with or without hesitation. Rather, Its always this and that. Tit for Tat. Fingered without question. Like sordid acts soured obtusely, beyond the realm of bliss and oblivion. Its always the next day. The next time. Decisions, decisions.
Better to call later. Better late than never. Ever, but not really. Not clever. Not at all.
Nowhere close to being christened - debutante.
Best not to intrude now.
Dressing gown; that fashionable ball. Purposeless function. Frills sown on frocks to hide a gleaming frown.
Now nor later, likely to get better. Give it a few more days, a few more weeks, a few more months. More exchange of letters.
Back and forth but does it really matter?
Months that morph into years and years into none.
Promise me. Promise me this -
Take me. Take me anywhere -
Leading nowhere;
Akiko 4eva
4real Akiko fun.
